cellular data/3g/data roaming is using ur mobile data while the wifi is using ur home/starbuck isp to connect to internet.
so generally means if u on ur cellular data/data roaming/3g on means u will use ur mobile data to connect to internet whenever ur ip thinks it needed to connect to internet such as push notification/mms/email.

actually u can just off ur cellular data only. because i search internet the cellular data is switch on/off to ur mobile internet while data roaming is when you are connected to a network other than the one your SIM is for, often in another country.

3g just makes ur edge speed faster into 3g speed

so mean just turn cellular data off....then it won't charge our data usage even we drop the wifi ??

or on the other words....off cellular data = cut off Internet usage ? (except wifi)

i got my first bill on the 6th Oct after signing up on 27th Sept... for that 10 days i was charged for rm38.50 zzzz... i was glad that it wasnt charged accordingly to the plan or else i would have to pay rm100 for juz 10 days hence my advance payment will only be activated for this month usage...

Well two days ago, my unbilled amt went up from rm2 to rm45 and resulted me get barred from maxis. woke up in da morning n realized i got barred, straight rang up maxis n they told me they barred the wrong person....

What a ridiculous reason man...Maxis is going down

i thought the 1st 5 month we only have to pay RM60 because we had already pay the prepayment RM200 ??

it is not *100*#, but is *100#

Another way is you can download Dataman or Data Usage apps to monitor too.

I just got my iphone, i m worry about the shock bill in the coming month. I am with the Maxis iValue1, 1GB .

My question is, if I on the facebook, yahoo mail and MSN all the days non stop, will my data usage exceed 1GB? should I turn off all the notification or push?
*
u have 1GB .....divide by 30day = u almost got 30mb per day to use.....


if u are on facebook + keep viewing Picture.....it easily can reach 30mb per day.....if surfing forum with load picture...it will eat up ur data quite fast also.......but if surfing lowyat forum / MSN / Yahoo mail....then u hard to reach 30mb per day

i always on my notification push on facebook , ping chat ......it won't eat up ur data very much de.....


LOAD image = data use more
Download / upload = data use more

i using le 10++ day with email / facebook / lowyat forum , not even 100mb yet =.=".....

Sometimes I also dun ever understand how they count it... Every month I checked my unbilled amount not exceed than 155 but when the bill came out 200++ ,I called customer services before and they told me a lot of reason said I use sms a lot some said I use data bla bla... But one thing is they told me unbilled amount is mean those tat I used not include freebies...kinda blur here...can someone tell me what is unbilled amount?
*
Ivalue 2 = RM155

Free call 667 min
Free data 2 GB
Free sms 400 SMS <-- For Maxis only , this one must becareful , because alot of maxis user 012/017 port in to Digi / Celcom , sometime u won't really get FREE rebate even u sms those 012/017 who are already port to digi >.< (last month i also kena 12 sms with 012 that port to digi , lucky charge me RM1.20 only , stil acceptable)
Free mms 40 MMS <--- same with sms

call rate 12 sen/min <-- after u finish ur 667min
sms 10 sen/SMS to any network


667 x 0.15 sen = RM100.05 / another RM55 = ur data + sms + mms
data/sms/mms is not included the UNBILL amount , the unbill amount is only ur CALL time , which mean ur UNBILL amount can't exceed RM100 when u check with *100# or www.maxis.com.my , it will be RM55 + ur unbill amount = Total of the bill u need to pay on the month happy.gif


For ivalue1 RM100/month , ur limit for unbill amount is RM50 only NOT RM100 , if over mean ur bill will come with DATA charge = RM50 + unbill amount biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif



p/s: correct if i'm wrong k , because i get this information from MEP stuff , i already follow this method for 2 month , so far it very accurate......never exceed my bill rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

@maderfader +1

i just received my bill , never overcharge also , paying RM104 also this month , after minus prepayment RM40 = RM64 happy.gif

same as my girlfriend , she using 850mb this month , SMS to other telcom / CALL never exceed , RM108 , minus RM40 = RM68

this is my 3rd bill , nothing wrong with maxis i think , maybe it's ur own fault ?? and my iphone never jail break , so i dunno about jailbreak user =( , because some one claim that there is some application consume alot of ur DATA in the background of jail break phone without NOTICE u at the Setting>General>Usage

actually if u know how to track ur Data usage , it wont give u a shock bill , 4 of my family include me under ivalue1 never get shockbill within this 4 month

for the 1st month , control urself not using more than 30mb per day , because the 1GB data plan is not given with full month cycle , maybe u register ur iphone on 24/1/2011 , it will be 28/1/2011 for billing date , so for the 1st month it should be

[1GB/31day] x 5 day(from 24~28) = 161MB , once u over 161mb , then u will be charge , hence u get shock bill....

so u better call up 123 to double confirm WHEN is ur Billing date , u can change the story =)



if let say u know ur billing date is every month of 28th , so just reset ur data on 29th , and use it safely until the next month of 28th rclxms.gif

normally will get shockbill on the 1st month because alot of user dunno the BILLING date , so they over use the data and get charge higer sad.gif
